This paper analyzed the short story Makunaíma e os Manos Deuses, by author and indigenous scholar Julie Dorrico, and its anthropophagic relationship with Mário de Andrade’s novel Macunaíma, o herói sem nenhum caráter, in which it perfumes vengeful echoes of an “oral-cannibal complex”. The article sought to define whether Makunaíma e os Manos Deuses belongs to a new decolonial and minor Brazilian literature that eschews the failed attempts to create a national literature aligned with the Western canon and makes peace with its indigenous, African, and popular roots. The present analysis takes place through the keys of posthumanism, Amerindian perspectivism, literary minority, anthropophagy, and the fantastic.
